Tables

Christian Watson Limited designed the Wandle Desk as a curvaceous and dynamic writing desk that would contrast Christian’s minimal style with a paredback palette of materials and bold lines, with subtle and dynamic curves and a stunning, simple, kidney shape. The design will create a statement in any setting, whilst providing ample and ergonomic space for homeworking.

Christian Watson wanted to create something that would encompass both the striking straight lines and subtle simple curved lines and maintain its function perfectly. The kidney-shaped writing surface is held up by three minimal straight legs, whilst a bar runs through each leg mirroring the long curve on the top surface. This bar creates harmony between the bold straight lines and minimal curves. The Wandle is a writing desk that is made entirely from metal and is available in monochrome black and white. The solid metal frame is another contrast with the organic shape of the desk, bringing the man-made and natural together. Designed to suit any environment to either blend in or to be a statement piece.

With each desk handmade to order, the Wandle can be personalised to suit any client, and the team can manufacture the frame size and colour to match any interior scheme.

The Chalice Table is a beautiful contemporary table with a smooth semi-transparent blue, or satin dark tinted oak top and open grain distressed bronze base. The design brief was to create a show stopping circular entrance table that would look in keeping with a period home, while embodying a contemporary edge. To achieve this brief Davidson London took a traditional material, like oak, and gave it a contemporary identity by using adding the liquid bronze to the distressed base and adding a blue glasslike, semi-transparent top.

Davidson London adore this piece as it is the sister product to The Decanter Table from their Wanderlust Collection. The Chalice Table has a similar beautiful shapely base with an elegant, slanted top, all the while incorporating rich materials which elevate the piece to the highest levels of luxury.

As a pioneer of the use of forged carbon fibre in the interior design market, Matthew Nunn Studio has developed the Luna Coffee Table using this exotic material as well as bronze to be a captivating retro-futurism piece that suits any interior.

The Luna derives its name from the beauty and wonder of the Cosmos and looks to evoke those feelings in its design. The bronze base is designed in homage to the elliptical orbits of so many celestial bodies, and the main structure embodies the feelings of wonder and awe in its ability to convey the essence of the challenging physics of the universe. From the gravity defying tip to the asymmetric shape, the piece elicits a questioning of how it works and how its come to be.

OPPOSITE PAGE: Pianist by InsidherLand

Inspired by a Paul Klee’s drawing in which the Swiss painter and musician portrays the soul of a dead Pianist who, having lost his instrument, continues to play music using his own body, the Pianist coffee table doesn’t represent the piano but the hands of the artist, vehicle of technique and emotion. The brass blades design the shape of the four longest fingers that, on a white keyboard in Estremoz marble, release a melody hidden within the musical notes.

The Pianist center table is based on four essential pillars: concept, form, function and emotion. The concept carries a personal symbolism, as the author Joana Santos Barbosa, was herself a piano player. The form takes the human hands into a functional design that exhales an emotional story.

The design takes an original approach that brings symbolism and emotion into any space. Thought to be a central piece for living rooms, the Pianist coffee table can be customized in several noble materials to perfectly highlight a sense of luxury in high-end residential interiors around the World.

Being a minimal design, Pianist apparently defies the laws of physics, presenting a contradictory effect between the thin brass blades that pierce a heavy marble top. The constructive process of Pianist was a continuous challenge between the simplicity of the design and its stability. All process included a teamwork of skilled artisans. By minimising the presence of any unnecessary accessory, the maximum emotional impact was achieved.
